Are there any new medications that will take away the constant pain and numbness feelings of inflammation in your hands that are the result of R.A. My hands dont appear to be inflamed or enlarged but certainly feel as though they have been injected with fluid and want to burst. Thanks, Lou

Yes, there are a number of medications that are used to treat RA. if you don't have a rheumatologist, as your family doctor for a referral as soon as possible so you can get proper treatment. You may want to do some poking around on the site or the Internet to check out medications such as Humira, Enbrel and Orencia.
